Louisiana passed a new law about texting and cell phones. It went into effect during my visit this week.
Do you text while you drive? Or enter an address for your map application? Or check and respond to email?

If you are ticketed for a violation of these new cell phone laws you will receive a fine up to $100 for your first offense and up to a $250 fine for your second and subsequent offenses. If you are involved in a traffic accident and the law enforcement official determines you were in violation of this law when the accident occurred, the fine will be doubled.

It is a MUST for everyone to be
smart and be careful!
